The programs involved were posted to PR 21983, so anybody can test
and/or profile them.
I only have 1 -current system, but I have another box with nearly
identical configuration. When I have a bit of time, I'll try loading
an old releng from around the July timeframe on it, and see whether
anything is obvious.
NB: I compiled from src on Sep18, so it was a little before the GCC 3
switch. My gcc -v says:
Using builtin specs.
gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release) (NetBSD nb4)
So, the 30% slowdown is almost certainly due to openssl.
